Hell Let Loose: Vietnam Price, Deluxe Edition, PC Requirements — and Is It Free for Owners?

The Hell Let Loose: Vietnam price is $39.99 for the Standard Edition and $59.99 for the Deluxe Edition (£34.99 / £54.99, €39.99 / €59.99) on Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It has been out since 13 August 2026. It is a separate, standalone game, so owning the original Hell Let Loose does not get you Vietnam for free. On Steam, owners get 5% off through the official bundle.

We stock the PC version as a Steam key: the Hell Let Loose: Vietnam Deluxe Edition Steam key was in stock with instant delivery when we checked on 24 September. Below is every price we could see that day, what the Deluxe Edition actually adds, the PC specs, how cross-play works, and what Steam reviewers are saying six weeks after launch.

In our store, the Hell Let Loose: Vietnam Deluxe Edition is sold as an official Team17 Steam key and delivered on screen and by email as soon as you pay. It is PC only. You redeem it on Steam, and it does not work on PS5 or Xbox. The Standard Edition has a page in our catalogue too, but it had no live offer when we checked on 24 September, so the Deluxe key is the one you can buy from us right now.

The “ROW” in the product address is the supplier’s region code, short for “rest of world”. It is a regional key, licensed for a list of countries, not a worldwide one. You don’t have to work out whether your country is on that list: the product page checks where you are and shows a line such as “Can be activated in Poland” before you pay. We only sell a key in countries where it activates. Prices are checked live and shown in your currency. When we loaded the page from Poland on 24 September it showed 229.16 PLN. Our guide to region locks covers why keys and cards are tied to countries, and our walkthrough for activating a product key on Steam shows the redemption screen.

If you would rather buy on Steam directly with wallet credit, a $50 US Steam gift card covers the $39.99 Standard Edition. For the $59.99 Deluxe, add a $20 Steam card. Wallet codes only work on a Steam account set to the same currency region.

No. Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is a separate game with its own Steam app, and nothing on any official page gives owners of the 2019 game a free copy. Team17’s FAQ says it is neither a sequel nor an expansion of the original. The developers made it a separate title so they could rebuild core systems in Unreal Engine 5. The FAQ also says you do not need to have played the original, and that Expression Games built a second team so both games keep getting updates.

The only price break for owners we found is on Steam. The official Hell Let Loose + Hell Let Loose: Vietnam bundle has a 5% bundle discount, and Steam’s bundle rules let you “complete the set”, paying only for the items you don’t own while keeping the discount. If you own the original on Steam, that works out to about $37.99 for Vietnam instead of $39.99. The PlayStation and Xbox listings we checked showed no owner discount.

If you are new to both, now is a good time: the original was 75% off on Steam ($12.49, ending 1 October), which made the two-game bundle $49.86. We stock the original as Steam keys too: Hell Let Loose, the Hell Let Loose Deluxe Edition and the Hell Let Loose Ultimate Edition. They are separate games from Vietnam, and none of their content carries over.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam launched on Thursday 13 August 2026 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It was first dated for 18 June. On 2 June, after an open beta that Team17 says drew more than 350,000 players, the publisher moved it to 13 August to work on performance and stability. Team17’s pre-launch post put the PS5 launch build online at 4 PM BST, one hour before launch, which makes the release time 5 PM BST (16:00 UTC). Steam and Epic had no pre-download. The same May announcement also confirmed boxed editions for PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Cross-play has been in since launch. Team17’s FAQ says Vietnam has full cross-play between PC and consoles, including between PC storefronts. The crossplay update explains how it works: servers are tagged as cross-platform, PC only or console only, and server owners choose which platforms can join. So PS5, Xbox and PC players can play together, and console players who don’t want to face mouse-and-keyboard players can stick to console-only servers.

Each match is 50 vs 50, with the US Armed Forces against the North Vietnamese Army. The Steam page lists 17 roles across six units: Command, Infantry, Recon, Armour, Mortar Squad, and a Helicopter unit that only the US side has. The new features are helicopters for the US, patrol boats for both sides, and tunnel networks that NVA players can build. The launch post lists four game modes: Warfare and Offensive from the original, plus two new ones, Conquest and Domination. Conquest uses a morale system that runs down each time a player redeploys. Domination makes both teams fight over three central points before either HQ can be attacked. The Deluxe Edition store text, which our product page repeats, mentions “6 distinct gameplay modes”. The developer’s own launch post names four, and we go with that.

The 2026 roadmap was posted to Steam on 21 August. Update 1.5 went live on 16 September with an officially licensed Bell UH-1 “Huey” replacing the fictional helicopter, the M14 and Type 56 SKS rifles, a first weapon-balance pass and 100+ fixes. Update 2.0 adds the first new map, Khe Sanh, and brings ANZAC forces into a renamed “US & Allies” faction with the L1A1 SLR, F1 SMG and L16A1 mortar. Update 3.0 adds a second map, Rung Sat, APCs for both sides and four more weapons, along with Navy SEALs and Green Berets. A clan system called Battalions is also planned. The roadmap post gives no dates for 2.0 and 3.0.
